Full Description

A late Georgian terrace of three houses, built in 1823, of hand-made red brick laid in Flemish bond with stone dressings. No.16 has a roof covering of pantiles whilst nos.18 and 20 have slate. They originally formed one property which belonged to Mr Johnson, an apothecary and surgeon, who had his surgery there. The property was clearly built as three separate dwellings, all with similar detailing and joinery, and it is likely that Mr Johnson rented out the two he did not occupy. The houses have two storeys and attics, and nos.18 and 20 have basement kitchens, though all have been subjected to a number of alterations. The houses have a similar plan form basically consisting of an entrance hall which opens into two reception rooms on one side and another room in the rear wing. The staircase at the end of the hall leads up to four first-floor rooms: two at the front, one at the side and another at the rear. The internal fittings, fixtures and joinery in the three houses survive with a high level of intactness, and in many respects are of the same design. Painted wall surfaces were revealed on some of the interior walls of no.20, during renovation works in the late 20th century.
